I love the detail it's caught in the eyes. Especially with the rain drop. I took about 250 shots and these two were the best.

Those last two you put up are on a par with what I get. The 60mm lens I use is really sharp and I do have a 24mp camera which helps a bit. I may get the Sony 90mm macro in the future - we shall see. |

I went out this afternoon when it finally stopped raining and managed to give my new lens a bit of exercise:

Very nice Phil. Th 4th one looks like a bee of some sort but I have no shots of one that dark.
Good job. |

I'm really enjoying it. I will keep at it and try to increase the sharpness if I can. I thought it looked like a bee but I'd never seen one all black before.

That's a good shot.
I guess there are lots of different bees. If he was a bee he wasn't doing a lot. I've never seen a bee sat still doing nothing before. If you zoom into the picture, there is what looks like another eye above the big eye.... How many eyes do these things have!!
